hello gentlepeople and orchid afficionados - i just want to introduce myself in (re)joining this discussion group which i participated from its very start to last years when i disenganged because of extensive travels and then some private project following ....
I live in Vienna, Austria with my partner Michaela and we have a collection of orchids and succulents in a glasshouse some 15 min by car from our apartment. Main foci of interest are Stanhopeas, the Pleurothallidinae Subtribe with Dracula, other south american cloud forest genera and African Orchids while we also cherish Caudiciform Succulents and Aclepiadaceae :-) currently we are having just great autumn weather with clear blue skies and fresh air - hoping this will continue as long as possible so - good growing to all of you Manfred in Vienna PS: by the way - is there someone on the group at home in New York City who would be willing to give some non-botanical hints in a parallel channel directly to my mail address ?? thank you very mucb in advance Manfred _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
